In-Context Learning Technique

An In-Context Learning Technique is a prompt-based few-shot machine learning technique that can enable pre-trained models to adapt to new tasks through demonstration examples without parameter updates.

• AKA: ICL Technique, Prompt-Based Learning, Demonstration Learning Technique.
• Context:
  • It can typically provide Task Demonstrations through input-output example pairs.

  • ...
  • It can range from being a Zero-Shot In-Context Learning Technique to being a Many-Shot In-Context Learning Technique, depending on its in-context learning technique example count.
  • It can range from being a Random In-Context Learning Technique to being a Curated In-Context Learning Technique, depending on its in-context learning technique example selection strategy.
  • It can range from being a Static In-Context Learning Technique to being a Dynamic In-Context Learning Technique, depending on its in-context learning technique adaptation flexibility.
  • It can range from being a Single-Domain In-Context Learning Technique to being a Cross-Domain In-Context Learning Technique, depending on its in-context learning technique generalization scope.
